--- Quote from: Eric Krewson on October 23, 2023, 10:42:11 am ---This will probably ruffle some feathers; I will be 76 in three weeks, my body is falling apart, I have worked for months to try to shoot lighter and lighter bows so I could bow hunt. If I shoot very much, I can count on a sleepless night of tossing and turning from the pain from various body parts, the worst is a hernia mesh failure that gets terribly inflamed very easily and will sometimes put me in the recliner for days.
Years ago, a friend gave me one of those funny looking things that looks like a rifle but has a bow like object on the front. I shot it a couple of times and hung it on the wall in my shop vowing never to touch it again, after all I am selfbow guy.
A few days ago, I got this strange looking object off the wall, I may hunt during bow season after all.

That doesn't ruffle my feathers in the slightest, Eric. Of course, it irks me that I have to compete with a bunch of guys younger than me who are carrying those bolt-slinging firearms. Any weapon that can be shot from prone position, with a scope, at 400 fps, doesn't belong in archery season...Unless the shooter is physically unable to shoot a regular bow. These weapons should be reserved for those situations. Especially if said someone has a long, long history of hunting with "real" bows. ;)
So get out there and have some fun! Good luck.
Pat B:
Whatever lets you get in the woods, Eric. Happy hunting! :OK
PaulN/KS:
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do Eric. No feathers ruffled here Sir.
And I'm getting new gutter estimates today...

Hey there ALL! Since the site lost its security rating I cant get on at work. I often forget by the time I get home or find myself busier that a one legged man..... fill in the blank. Wife and I have been canning a lot of things, getting winter garden spaces ready for planting, placing the literal ton of slate that we harvested from our highway into patios, pathways and stairways. Daughter moved back in with 4 kids and a dog in September, that keeps us real busy! I am still here! Still Rangering in Yosemite if you find yourself out this way! Working on my commuter replacing motor mounts, got to replace leaf spring on my truck. Always something to do! Stay Well!
Pat B:
Hey, Ben. Great to see you around. :OK
